Topic: Whirlpool Duet washer (Read 8628 times)

I have a customer with a duet washer that will not start. The display panel lights up and you can select all the functions but when you push and hold start nothing. Tried running the diagnostic but when you press the rinse/hold button it beeps 3 times and again nothing. Took the top off unplugged the machine and plugged it back in to see if the relay would activate as per tech sheet again nothing. At this point I'm thinking CCU but I hate to order such an expensive part and it not be the problem. I was just wondering if anyone had any other thoughts on this before I order the part. Thanks

The ribbon cable was pinched and the end wire was cut as I recall something to do with the way it was mounted. Hell I don't remember.

I've worked on one of these with a door switch problem before and I could hear the relay in the CCU click but the door lock would not engage. In this case I can't make the ccu do anything. It doesn't make a sound. If it was the door switch would I not get an error message if the CCU was doing its job? Also unhooked the line filter from the CCU and plugged it back in and there was no audible click as per tech sheet. The interface was taken apart and checked (have seen those plastic levers that the buttons are mounted on break) Nothing is out of order. Everything on the interface seems to work the way it should but like I said it won't even go into diagnostic mode and just beeps three times when I try to start diagnostic there is no mention of what the three beeps might mean in the manual.

Maybe I have been there and done that a few more times than you, especially when overlooking all 3 parts of a door lock. If there is no signal thru the lock the control or if the User Interface thinks there is an open circuit, it will beep like that. I suppose you have never tried to enter a command with the door open before?

Also, the dispenser switch is a customary problem area, and you can check it from the top.

You cannot tell if the User Interface is bad simply by examining the buttons and structure. If you could, please come with me on my next service call so I can do without my meter

More likely than not the user interface is bad, but it never hurts to rule out the other 2 first. This is per the Whirlpool Tech line associate I consulted on your behalf.
